New King James Version
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless (A)you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 (B)Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is [a]food indeed, and My blood is [b]drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood (C)abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 (D)This is the bread which came down from heaven—not (E)as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

The (J)words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
